    Dear Dr. Willard McCarty,

    Title: Knuth, Donald E.: Things a Computer Scientist Rarely Talks About
    Publisher: University of Chicago Press

    How does a computer scientist understand infinity? What can probability
    theory teach us about free will? Can mathematical notions be used to
    enhance one's personal understanding of the Bible? Perhaps no one is more
    qualified to address these questions than Knuth, whose massive
    contributions to computing led others to nickname him "The Father of
    Computer Science"--and whose religious faith led him to undertake a
    fascinating analysis of the Bible called the 3:16 project.

    For more information, see the book synopsis at

    Regards,
    Arun
